Before venturing into the world of commercial photography I used to work as a public relations professional, specializing in social media consulting and strategies. There I helped a number of different corporations, non-profits and individuals craft social media strategies that fit their needs. Those same principles can be easily translated to help photographers maximize their [...]
This book hit me fairly between the eyes and ears. Basically it is one of the best video instructionals I have ever read. Co-author Rob Sheppard has an enviable history of writing about still photography while his writing partner Michael Guncheon has well-established credits in video production and writing, mostly in editing. However, the pair [...]
Normally, books on wildlife photography are packed with sumptuous, ultra close shots of wild life, going about their natural business, unaware of a photographer only metres away. This book has that, but takes the story further by tipping in wild, wild shots of the natural environment, icebergs, cascading rivers, caves, deserts and more. Author Hopkins [...]

Without light you can’t make a photograph. Too much or too little and you risk the shot to fail — or succeed, because it breaks the rules. Without doubt, the management of light, via selection of the most appropriate lens aperture and shutter speed, is the key to successful and satisfying photography. A book such [...]
There is a wealth of difference between a pro and an amateur photographer. On assignment, the pro leaves home with a target, an aim to bring back the best efforts with his camera, in order to please his or her client. The amateur takes things a little less seriously, arriving back at base with images [...]
After my last post on the $5000 Photocrati Grant, I started searching the net for other opportunities that aren’t popularity based contest. I like Photocrati’s grant because it is based on content and quality, not just how good you are at soliciting social media hype. Below are a helping of grants (and a couple of [...]
Photocrati is not only a great site to find WordPress template for photographers, the company also believes in promoting photography’s potential to bring about positive change. To that end, they have set up the Photocrati Fund and each year hold a competition to award a grant to one skilled photographer. Notice I didn’t say ‘lucky’? [...]
